7 PCSR 02-22-1994 ek.l ITEM 7 ( > ty of MEMORANDUM lk • River TO: PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: GARY SCHMITZ, PLANNING ASSIST. e DATE: FEBRUARY 22, 1994 SUBJECT: VARIANCE REQUEST BY THE CITY OF ELK RIVER, PUBLIC HEARING, CASE NO. V 94-01 ISSUE Consider a five (5) foot front yard building setback variance and five (5) foot parking lot setback variance to the existing library. ATTACHMENTS Location Map, Zoning Map, Site Plan 1111 ANALYSIS The City of Elk River is requesting a five foot front yard setback variance and a five foot parking lot setback variance for the existing library and associated parking lot. The purpose of the variance is to recognize the existing conditions, which do not comply with current code. The variance is being triggered by the conditional use permit application for the expansion of the existing library building. SETBACKS The existing library is currently situated twenty-five (25) feet from the front property line located along Proctor Avenue. Today's front yard setback requirement is 30 feet. The existing parking lot setback from the surrounding property lines is 5 feet. Today's parking lot setback requirement is 10 feet. At the time the library and parking surface was constructed, it did meet all City codes, therefore, a variance is required because of the change to City ordinance. • P.O. Box 490 • 13065 Orono Parkway • Elk River, MN 55330 • (612) 441-7420 • Fax: (612) 441-7425 • VARIANCE REQUIREMENTS Staff refers the Planning Commission to section 900.40 of the Elk River City Code of Ordinance for the five standards to consider when reviewing a variance. It is staffs opinion that hardship can be shown and this request meets the five required standards. The City of Elk River constructed the library and parking area at the time when each setback would have met City code. The need for a variance is not the result of the applicant but through changes to the City Zoning Ordinance. By allowing the variance, it will not detrimentally affect the health safety or welfare of the residents of the City. It should also be stressed that both of these variances are for existing conditions not associated with the proposed addition. RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends approval of the five (5) foot front yard building setback variance along Proctor Avenue and a five (5) foot parking lot setback variance based on the following findings: 1. Literal enforcement of the ordinance would cause unavoidable hardship because of an existing condition which, at the time • the building was constructed, met City Code. 2. The variance is not a consequence of the petitioners action but due to changes in City Code. 3. The variance will not be injurious, to, or adversely affect the health, safety, or welfare of the residents of the City or the neighborhood where in the property is situated and will be keeping with the spirit and intent of the ordinance. r Ni . , ■. : ...\ u �F. � 10N iv 2, • —----\ 111 I tS3RD ST amoo ,a F:77" ,�;E1-,K� c2K ilk -_�� !/. --wousTR 2 '114 �— ' •ZN� r» 1{-i't i ll 7 , SLIM N ,i Mt ! 1 » A001f10N • ';p� ••' ♦s• op r Z,„ / 0 »�, Ijirs i.
